I created this blog to share positive, upbeat information. I only write reviews for books I love and feel good about recommending. I also enjoy sharing my writing/publishing learning experiences with other writers. I'd love to hear from you. Please use the comments link on each blog post to share your own views and experiences.
The general schedule is reviews on Monday, writing tips on Wednesday, pot luck on Friday.

Women's History Month

March is Women's History Month

In the United States, March is Women's History Month, a time to "re-examine and celebrate the wide rane of women's contributions and achievements, which are too often overlooked in the telling of our history."

March is a great time to learn about women throughout history who have shared your interests.

Here in Texas, everyone knows we are proud of our cowboys, but do you know we are also proud of our cowgirls? We even have a museum that "honors and celebrates women, past and present, whose lives exemplify the courage, resilience, and independence that helped shape the American West, and fosters an appreciation of the ideals and spirit of self-reliance they inspire." Learn more about The National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame here.

From the wild days of early flight to space travel, women have loved to fly. Learn more at The International Women's Air and Space Museum in Ohio. Do you know the name of the first woman to orbit the earth? Hint: if you said Sally Ride, you're wrong. Check out the IWASM.
